Have you seen this image before?

This is what I had always thought to have been one of the most iconic images of our generation, the kind of thing that we would all recognize. Perhaps not every single person, but certainly every Chinese.

I recently met a Chinese person who grew up in China but spent the vast majority of her life here in Canada. She has never seen or heard about this incident and thinks most people, even Chinese people, do not know of this either.

What do you guys think? Is this image really as iconic as I think it is, or are some Chinese people just uninterested about this?

I think 99% of the people with access to free public media and live outside China has seen this before.

Within China, even, I'm sure a lot of people know about it, but have different thoughts about it. It's amazing what media can do, just like how a lot of Japanese don't think twice about what actually happened in WW2.
